With the world’s population expected to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050, securing food supplies is fast becoming big business.

In the wake of Covid-19, the agri-tech sector is expected to boom as startups like Dubai-based Pure Harvest introduce new technologies to help people source food locally in a more sustainable and efficient way.
Founder and CEO Sky Kurtz believes his startup can solve this challenge by growing food in the unlikeliest of places – the Arabian Desert.
